2.- Prepare something like in photos to reduce wide to 30mm very carefully, Pay atention to don't perforate battery.

3.- Once battery is 30mm wide, reduce tickness to 4.3mm with some of the methods shown in photos. if corners are square and all faces are flat then you get it.

4.- Open Gooapple removing 2 screws and sliding up the back cover and then pulling up.

5.- Remove battery with the help of something flat, spatula, flat screwdriver...

6.- Open the battery and unfold electrodes to remove chip as shown in photos

7.- Desold both contacts but keep Red and Black cables in its place

8.- insert chip in iPhone battery and solder both contacts (+ is next to Red and - is next to Black)

9.- Try to isolate chip components and fold contacts inside as smaller as possible

10.- Very carefully insert battery paying attention to antenne cables and ribbon cables of volume buttons.

11.- Arrange cables and battery to keep all surface with same hight as metal frame of phone (can be 0.4mm more)

[Android General] "Q":
cont.

Limit of 20 pics reached....

Once battery is connected, charge it for no less than 3h (wall adapter must be cold when finish charging)

Leave phone to empty battery using it as normal and charge again to calibrate capacity.

Good luck :good:

Hey guys, sorry that I haven't been around lately but this mail is killing me...

I never seen so much letters in my intire life lol xd (I'm a mailman since 5 weeks)

So I got a glimpse that you (Q) have managed to change the battery, I would like to know if it's worth it and if the phone can stay on longer then usual?

Greetings !
[Android General] "Q":
Hi bOyka8!

Nice to hear from you again. I guess you were very busy with you new job.

As you know my friend, experience is success, so be patient :)

About battery I can confirm it really worths changing.

Can be 2 or 3 days with a single charge in moderate use. Now, for instance, phone is 40%, it was 47% in the morning and used for 10min call and some update of contacts and reminder. So, I used a 10% of battery today :)

I understand the process is complicated for people without experience in electronics but always can ask some friend to help...

Ask me any questions you need if some point is not clear enough.

Ah! Please, have you experienced problems with the 32GB card? I had to step down to 16GB for some isues (see above)

Anyway, I had 16GB class10 in camera and used it for phone and 32 in camera, so everybody happy :D
[Android General] bOyka8:
Sorry but this is just another flyby again. Still very busy @ work :D

Here is the original ROM that's used on the phone : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76038325/Gooapple_V5_Plus_ROM_A116A_V1.0_P2MB3_20121110.rar
[Android General] "Q":
Hello,

Thanks for shearing your experience with us.

It seems you have removed a lot of rabish of phone.

I also removed some with Titanium Backup, specialy the Yahoo staff, but found that the system applications doesn't release more internal memory. The MTKwallpaper for instance releases more than 40mb but not in the internal memory, I still have the same 19mB after removing :/

I'm glad to hear that 32GB is working for you, My 32GB Scandisk class10 "U1" is not compatible and a source of problems in V5+.

I have been more than a week with the iPhone battery and only recharge every 2 days. So I recommend the change.

About GPS I can confirm it works, follow my suggestions and will see.

Some people install Luckypatcher to avoid ads and reduce power consumption. I did and recommend too.

Cheers
[Android General] lss795:
hello guys.yesterday i was searching the sd card of my phone and i found that rom: a108-iOS-V2g-12.05.19.zip .i thought it was an updated rom so i tryed to install it.after that the phone shuted down and when i try to open it is lagging on the boot logo.please tell me what to do?!?!?:crying:
[Android General] bOyka8:
I'd say , download another ROM and install it through CMW or flash the default ROM again and see what happens !

Btw rafkhan, have you tried iLauncher? I saw there are like 3 iphone launchers. The default, Espier and iLauncher, I tried all 3 but Espier and default seem to lag the most but iLauncher seems to not load the icons sometimes.

Btw if any of you have any apps that make the gooapple look more like iphone, please share !

I already have : Launcher (Espier / iLauncher), Keyboard (PinyIn IME) (but I want to remove the chinese and make 2 versions : Azerty and Qwerty), Gallery 1.5.1, (default) Music Player.

I also made an attempt at changing the USB mode to something like the iTunes one but I too failed. It worked but the notification bar started to give errors and the phone too so I went back to default.

EDIT: I'm kinda liking Espier launcher now, I also tried the browser, pretty neat ! Only thing thats not working is the Espier Reminder
[Android General] "Q":
I have Skysafari, same they devellop for Apple. Is great! The best for sure. Luckypatcher too ;)

Btw B0yka8, how to know wich version of ROM we have installed?

If update, have to root again?

I had no rom.zip in my sdcard when phone arrived :/
[Android General] rafkhan:
Try the newest version of espier launcher (2.0.8). They have improved a lot and its pretty smooth. Yeah the updated reminder (2.0) is buggy. I've the older version and it works fine.

Which ROM is installed in your phone? Does it have the same problems I mentioned earlier (misaligned call accept and reject buttons)?.
[Android General] bOyka8:
The thing is about these ROMS that there is something odd going on.

On these guys SDcard there was a ROM called "a108-iOS-V2g-12.05.19.zip" but as you can read, it says 2G but we use 3G right..

Another thing, notice the a108 in the name? A108 is a GooApple V5 rom, not GooApple V5+ ! (which you can read here : http://bbs.gooapple.com/thread-44680-1-1.html)

The name for GooApple V5+ is A116-4S or A116-3G (or A115-2G).

So if one of these guys installed that ZIP (a108-iOS-V2g-12.05.19.zip) it means they installed a GooApple V5 rom which probably messed up "lss795" 's phone.

So he'll probably has to reflash his phone with a good ROM (I suggest the original one) or revert to a backup he once made.

The only downloadable ROM's that we can now get are these:

A116-4S : http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=162410&uk=671993239#dir/path=/刷机包/V5＋/A116_4S

A116-4G : http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=162410&uk=671993239#dir/path=/刷机包/V5＋/A116_3G

Original ROM that comes on the GooApple V5+ : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76038325/G...ple_V5_Plus_ROM_A116A_V1.0_P2MB3_20121110.rar

ATM, I'm using the Original ROM that comes with the phone. Removed lot's of standard apps and using Espier launcher atm so I also removed the standard launcher.

And yeah it indeed has some issues like chinese simbols at calendar and call screen thats a bit messed up.

So here's what I actually am using:

Original ROM - Rooted

Espier Launcher

Espier Browser

iGallery 1.5.1

Espier Clock

Facebook

AssistiveTouch

Skype

Root Explorer 2.21.1

µTorrent

Lucky Patcher 2.8.7

TitaniumBackup 6.0.4

iPhone Notification 6.2

Google PinyInIME keyboard

Iphone Reminders (another one than Espier one)

And some games

And as last, if you want to update, I recommend to make a backup first of your current rom through CMWR. Then install the update through CMWR and test it, if you like it, keep it but if you dont ,revert to your backup.
[Android General] "Q":

[Android General] lss795:

i think that my drivers are the same that i used to have when my phone was ok.

i cant open the phone on recovery mode to install a new rom.

any idea,what can i do?i orderd the phone from android-sale and i think that it have warranty.will warranty will be able to cover that type of dmg???

what do you think?
[Android General] "Q":
Maybe USB cable is broken as many users reported.

Try using other cable before thinking in more delicate ways...
[Android General] lss795:
i have an ipod and the cable that i use its ok
[Android General] "Q":
Perhaps these settings are wrong:

Settings/Store> Unknown sources

Development/USB>Debbuging

Also can try pressing Reset button (inside headset connector) with USB cable connected to PC and White for it to detect
[Android General] lss795:
i cant open the phone and i already tried to press the reset botton
[Android General] "Q":
It's so strange...

If I were in your case I would do this:

- Be sure have pressed reset button (feel a click)

- Be sure battery is not empty (try recharge just in case) and try switch ON connected to charger.

- Be sure Power Button Works pressing many times in diffrent parts of key (I have poblems here too)

- If nothing Works try to contact with seller, they have a Return for Repair service.

Hope may help,

Good luck!!
[Android General] "Q":
How it was?

Fixed phone?

I had a problema today with SDcard.

In Store/Used it says SDcard damaged!!

I had to open, take out and format in PC. Once installed it worked again.

Is a 16GB class 10.

I'm beginning to think that this card socket is not very reliable. So cleaned contatcs and put 2 small pieces of paper in between bracket and card in order to increase tensión of spring wires.

Fortunately I had backup of card and system and now all ok-
[Android General] bOyka8:
Hey guys, sorry that I've been gone so long but I'm pretty much back after some great weeks : Job + Champion @ Football :laugh::good:

Anyways yesterday I went on some search again for new iphone style apps and guess what. I found realllly accurate apps !

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=iPhone+Style+Studio but too bad the guy who gave me some Google Wallet to buy some apps cause I helped him has changed his PW so I can't buy these :(

Also the best thing of all ain't supported by our phone :( (The keyboard)

I also found something nice if you're bored of your black iphone and would like a white one for a while (http://www.slickwraps.com/Glow-in-the-Dark-Skin-iPhone-4-p/ip4-iglowphone-3.htm)

It's a white sticker (slightly green) which turns into green light at dark !

I'll continue again on finding stuff for this phone !

Cheers
[Android General] "Q":
Nouveau trophée dans l'armoire?

Congrats!!

Do you know some App to switch off the phone without the upper key?

I'm having problems with it but I think is not hadware problem but some software issue (?)

I can leave phone ON, but, when charging, the screen with battery icon is always ligthing. Only turns off if charging with phone off.

Any siggestions?
[Android General] bOyka8:
No not really. Maybe you could try making a backup of the current state of your phone, then revert to an older backup and see if its still giving issues. Or maybe even go back to stock ROM.

And I sent those guys from iPhone Style Studio a message if they want to make the keyboard compatible with 2.3.6 and they will probably do it they said. So finally a good AZERTY iphone keyboard :D
[Android General] "Q":
That's good for you. Maybe they can also fix the problema with accents (there are no áéíóú, just àèìòù wich is not Spanish) but it seems to be a Android issue as I could read...

About the POWER button, I need to investigate more. But for any body having this issue, I recommend this APP: Extended Power Menu https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdHVkaW8uZXh0ZW5kZWRwb3dlciJd

It Works in V5+

[Android General] "Q":
Problems with incoming messages

Hi guys!

When I receive a SMS something goes wrong :(

This is what happens when SMS arrives:

-Screen opens showing the unlocking screen.

-Once unlocked it shows a dark blue message: "Message application has stopped unexpectly......)"

-No sound or vibration

-SMS can be seen by tapping in Message icon, but no alert of it....

I think it happened from beginning since I haven't used SMS before in this number.

I send SMS without problems.

How to fix it? Installing new App? like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmlwaG9uZXN0eWxlLm1tcyJd

Thanks for suggestions
[Android General] bOyka8:
Ah yeah, I tried that iPhone messages before too, same thing happened so I went back to the normal one. I don't know why this is happening but I think some things are missing/different than other phones where it does work.

Like some apps don't work on our phone but it does work on tons of other 2.3.6 phones.
[Android General] "Q":
Yes, lots of people reporting this issue in internet. It seems to be Android issue that begins with a SMS and still like that forever...

I restored my 1st Backup after rooting and also have this issue.

At least with iPhone Messages APP it bips and vibrates on incoming messages, just have to forget the anoying window "com.andriod.mms has stopped...."

BWT, I'm thinking about changing power button since can find the iPhone 4s replacement on eBay and are quite similar.

(extrange that only me having button problems...just wait, lol.)
[Android General] bOyka8:
Maybe the connection between your new battery and the power button is somewhat corrupted?

And I've also noticed another anoying bug like when you want to sent a text message to someone , sometimes it says : Invalid reciepent or something which makes my head explode x)
[Android General] "Q":
I don't think so. I see no relation between battery and this switch, but who knows.... I'm not sure about the battery volts, original was 3.7v and this I have is 4.2v or 3.7v (?) Could it explain my problems with SDcards?

(The 32GB class10 UI Scandisc was recognized as 16GB and failed sometimes. Now it is my Olympus camera and last week I saw "Card Failure" and lost all photos on it, so caution with UI cards!!)

The behavior of power button is estrange, you never knows if it will work or not :) And, bcos it doesn't seem to be a mechanic/electric problem, I will wait and don't change switch....

About your SMS annoyance, I just sent a very few text sms and it worked. But thanks for reporting it, I will be ready to don't hate it more if some day it happens to me ))))

So, It looks like a pretty princess plenty of annoying habits (hope no girls reading this tread, sorry)))))
[Android General] bOyka8:
Seems like I found out what was wrong with the USB cable.

As mentioned before, the USB mode didn't work anymore, now yesterday, my phone wouldn't recharge either, so my dad opened the cable, and saw that 3 cables were loose. Red, green and white (green = usb mode) and I'm not sure which one is power.

Anyways, he soldered the cables and put some strong glue on the cables so it wouldn't break again.

So this mistery of tons of cables being broke is solved :p
[Android General] "Q":
Ok,

I will check my cables just in case...

Btw, a new power button will arrive soon (ebay 7 Euros)

It comes with proximity sensor and other things connected with a ribbon cable. Is for the iPhone 4S and I will remove the switch to try to replace the Gooapple V5+

But my random button failure suggest a ribbon cable not connecting properly. spetially after moving it when changed battery.

Will prepare a tutorial if it finally works.

About SMS messages problems, I can send even to Russia. Maybe it depends on operator (?)

Kind regards
[Android General] "Q":
Fix Power Button Trick

As I posted before, I'm having problems with my Power Button.

It works randomly. The worse is when you have to power-on the phone bcos this is the only control to do it.

I'm thinking about replacing the micro switch, but I found a temporal/emergency solution for that people with a "dead" phone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcfMFRqSxlA

I can confirm that it works. Don't need to press too much!! Just like in video.

Hope it might help.

Cheers
[Android General] "Q":
Power button chapter 2 :)

I fixed the problem with power button just disassembling the metal plate that protects the circuit near camera.

Only 2 little screws and remove plate. Then get access to several flat micro-connectors. I think the problem was there.

So, move that connectors to ensure all is ok and replace the metal plate and 2 screws.

Remember that the phone doesn't work if the rear cover is not placed.

Hope it will work for quite some time....
[Android General] bOyka8:
I'm having issues too man.. I'm getting pissed at this phone forreal.

Whenever someone calls me I cannot hear them through the earpiece but they can hear me talking.

If I use a headphone, I can hear them and if I use speakers, I can use them too, just not by ear.

So I guess this ear thing is broken -_-
[Android General] "Q":
Pity, at least can use speaker or headset.

Maybe you are right and the earphone is broken, but I have seen that part of the circuit and I'm convinced that the microconnectors they use to connect all components to the circuit boards are unreliable. You know, gold is gold :)

I suggest you to move a bit these connectors,

just remove that metal plate next to camera with a white dot that can see on the left of pic:

http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...a706e3f/51a65d04/1/8/0/0/2/4/1/013_resize.jpg

It has 2 little screws and under it is the circuit board with many ribbon cables and rectangular patches that are the microconnectors. Gently press these little things and with luck you fix that problems.

Is very easy, much more that rooting :))))
[Android General] bOyka8:
Looks like i completely broke it. Phone doesnt boot anymore and the touchscreen didnt work either
[Android General] "Q":
It's quite delicate device, but I can't imagine why it stops working...

Have opened?

Don't forget to replace back cover bcos if not the phone doesn't work.

Have tried resetting?

If power button fails, symptoms are exactly like you describe.

Maybe can boot doing it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcfMFRqSxlA

Is for iPhone but worked for me.
[Android General] bOyka8:
I just gave it another go and now touchscreen works again but the screen is stretched and nothing wrong with the power button here, was just that the battery ran out :P

2 cables were loose which I put back in but i guess 1 isnt put back right yet. Now its just finding out which one.

Hopefully Ill recieve the earpiece tomorow so i can put it in.

Posted with iPad
[Android General] bOyka8:
I'm sorry to say my GooApple V5+ carreer is over.

I opened the phone, everything went fine untill I removed the motherboard.

It was clipped by some yellow thing to the power button but I pulled a bit too hard so it snapped :(

I'll have to put this phone aside untill I find a way to fix it.
[Android General] "Q":
Very bad news...

I haven't seen the yellow thing you say. If you mean a small circular yellow thing with a little dark dot inside, this is the micro-switch for power-button.

In iPhone 4S the power button switch is fixed by 2 little screws to the frame with a small black piece of plastic.

Well, I hope you can manage to put all together again if no circuit parts have been damaged.

I found these videos interesting for my power button repair:

Phone stuck in boot logo

I flashed a wrong ROM and the phone is now stuck in boot logo. I'm unable to go to recovery mode also. Resetting didn't work.

Is there any way to flash roms via flash tool to get this working? When powered on the phone just shows apple logo and dies .
[Android General] bOyka8:
Yes there is a way Phelin,

Get the flash_v5+4s_a116_1110_Launcher.rar (http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=162410&uk=671993239#dir/path=/刷机包/V5＋/A116_4S)

And flash it with the flash tool.

Once done, you can revert to a backup if you have one, or continue on this ROM
[Android General] rafkhan:
Trouble :(

Tried to flash Bestrom v4.0. But phone stopped responding. When switched on only shows battery icon. I cant go into recovery mode because volume buttons were dead before. Any suggestion?

Is flash tool helpful in this case? No idea how to use it. Please help anybody
[Android General] "Q":
Hi!

I remember a way to enter in recovery that we used to root the phone, as can see in the tutorial by bOyka8 :

* Method #2:

- With your phone on, start "cmd.exe" as administrator on your PC.

- Type "cd C:\GooApple\ADB" (without the "") and press enter.

- Type "adb reboot recovery" (without the "") and press enter again.

- Your phone shall reboot in recovery.

hope may help ;)
[Android General] rafkhan:
Not working!

My phone is not even detected by PC. Only shows battery icon when switched ON. This method is not helping either :( Thanks anyway for your suggestion.
